Yeah, but I meant in terms of the individual stats increased took him to that level, I agree with that you that Falcao and Jelavic are very underated but in my opinion Fletcher deserves to be on the same level as Torres from what I've seen of Torres in the past couple of seasons, he's nowhere near the player he was at Liverpool and Fletcher has 5 goals in 5 games for an average team like us who have been awful in the first few games in terms of chances created for him

YES! I thought I was seriously the only one. I've loved this guy for years (was something like Huylens in previous PES titles). If this guy gets space to shoot he will score every time. Last PES he had shot accuracy of 99 half way through the second season and he was just about the only default I didn't sell. As you always say, OA means nothing, and he's just about one of the worst strikers based on OA, but looking at his stats he's easily one of the best.

...and 6 months later, Barcelona have bought Messi back for about £66m!

They now have the 3 best players in the game in Fabregas, Iniesta, and Messi, the only 3 currently rated 100 or higher...

Halfway through the season and I'm into the cup semi finals (against Mallorca - should beat them, and then Barca and Madrid have both already been knocked out), and I just beat Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu in the league...I've come a long way! Team's developing nicely, although I could do with a bit more quality in depth sometimes...Doing well though...About 7th in the league in my first season in D1 after it took me 2 seasons to be promoted...Going nicely...Hoping I can win the cup for some early success!

Viviano was the player i have missed the most as i signed him for £5m and he developed into that in 3 years. the game got accidently deleted when i was in 2015 so i've missed out on 2 years of development. currently looking to what other players i can find and convert into hte gmae.

I do agree with Cashis though - he can't play solo up front.I used him more in the first season, but now, with the way I like to have my strikers come deeper and try to split the defence (or have the wingers cut in front of them), he is less useful. Minandinho retains use as a hold-up player who I can pivot the offence around.

I started my Master League with Arsenal London (wanted to play Premier League but not with these big teams like ManU, ManCity or Chelsea and as a German Mertesacker and Podolski were quite nice to have in my team). It's pretty cool to see my own development in this game, my defensive efforts were quite bad in my first 10 games but now I finally get better and better.

I adjusted a few tactical things, made different tactical formations for different opponent strategies but I need to get more experience with certain formations.

I started pretty good into my first season with a 3:1 at the Spurs White Heart Lane, having Walcott scoring for two. Totally hyped I wanted to crush Southhampton, but they gave me quite a challenge - 1:1 with Podolski scoring his first Premier League goal in his career. After a 2:2 vs. ManCity (away) and a 1:1 in my CL-Group against Real Madrid I was pretty confidant I could fight for Premier League crown.

And then came Aston Villa. They won all of their first 3 games and stomped my 0:2! Followed by a pathetic 0:0 against Reading my confidance was lost. BATE in CL game 2 was easy to play but I lost at Old Trafford 1:3 vs ManU. I had problems scoring goals - Gervinho and Walcott were not that strong throughout this time and Podolski alone wasnt able to do it all on his own.But then came the first round of FA Cup against QPR - easy win (2:0) with Podolski scoring both goals. Next game in PL against Swansea - totally dominating the game leading 1:0 through Podolski. Getting the equalizer right before halftime. Back on the pitch 2:1 Podolski - equalizer after a horrible pass from Sagna. 3:2 Podolski again und 3:3 from de Guzman in minute 88. Gosh was I frustrated.

But now my winning streak started having 7 wins in 9 games. 2:1 vs West Ham Utd, 3:1 Lille (CL), 1:1 Chelsea (away), 2:0 Wigan, 1:1 Lille (CL), 2:0 Norwich, 5:3 after penalty shootout vs Bolton in FA Cup, 1:0 vs Everton and a marvelous 4:0 against Fulham. Strong games, good defense, I rotated a lot giving nearly everyone the opportunity to show his skills.My heart stopped when I lost at Bernabeu 0:2 to Real Madrid and was only 3rd in my Group C. But I knew i must win against BATE in my last game - sounds easy to be honest. After 2 wins in PL (3:0 vs QPR and 2:0 vs Sunderland) I lost the game right before playing against BATE. Newcastle owned me pretty hard and I couldnt get more than a 1:2.

But I went on getting 6 wins in a row: 3:1 vs BATE and 2nd place in my group after Real Madrid, 2:1 Liverpool (Arshavin scored in minute 87!), 3:0 West Bromwich, 6:0 Stoke (3x Cazorla, 2x Gervinho!) and on the 20th fixture a 1:0 against Tottenham. Birmingham wasnt a real problem in that 3rd FA Cup game when I crushed them 3:0 having chances to beat them 5, 6 or 7:0!

After 29 games in this season Lukas Podolski scored 18 times leading the Premier League scoring list with 12 goals, Cazorla is second with 8 goals

My tactical formation is a normal one for Arsenal I think:

Szczezny

Sagna - Mertesacker - Vermaelen - K. Gibbs

Arteta ------------------------------- WilshereSanti Cazorla -------

Walcott ---------------- GervinhoPodolski

I sometimes change my goalkeepers around, Fabianski started the first 8 games of the season, because Szczezny had blue and purple arrows.

My defense is pretty solid but Squillaci wanted a big new contract but not with me. I release him at the end of the season and get a new defender that costs half as much as this guy does. He started 6 games in PL for me, but I wont pay 4m for a guy that sits mostly on my bench.For my RB position I try to get a fast guy to replace Sagna, cause Sagna made some horrible passing mistakes. He isnt that fast as other RB's are and he costs quite a lot. I will get a new one and still have Jenkinson as a backup.I somehow switch my LB's around having Gibbs against stronger enemies and Santos against weaker opponents. Santos scored 2 goals so far (PL and FA Cup).

Next to Arteta, Diaby, Wilshere, Rosicky, Ramsey and all these guys I bought Thiago. He was cheap and I bet he has a great future ahead of him. Normally I wouldnt sign another player for my midfield, but they are all good at any position even on the wings. I now got Arteta/Diaby, Wilshere/Rosicky and Cazorla/Thiago. I gave Wilshere a new contract aswell as Arteta, cause they both did a very good job grabbing balls off of enemy players and shutting down counterattacks. Right now I got a very solid, experienced but future oriented midfield - looks beastly.

For my attacking players I wanted Falcao .. but this guy doesnt want to join my team. I could sign Drogba but I dont want a expensive old player. I still try to get Reus to replace Gervinho or Walcott, but I think I need a few years to establish myself around the CL to bait these talents into my claws

PES 13 arrived at my house today and I am going to start a ML after getting a tad bored of Fifa

I am starting as Newcastle so I don't think I will be getting much money to spend with them, so can someone recommend me a good cheap striker, a good cheap CB and a good cheap CM? Also is there a way you can put all the best teams into the BPL and the Division 2, I did it on PES10 and took Bolton to PL success from Division 2 but I couldn't work out how you do it on PES 12 and I think PES 13's system is the same. Thanks

How much is cheap? Why do my scouts and negotiators have difficulty trying to sign players that aren't on the "list of targets"?

Hoping to be in the promotion race this season, would be happy if we finished 6th or 7th though, I exppect Benfica, Tottenham, Liverpool, Sao Paulo and Lazio to be my biggest rivals for promotion. Had a terrible start though, I drew my friendly match 1-1 to Torino then lost my opening match 7-2 to Flamengo.

Brought in Borini and Hooper to strengthen my attack line

I tried that for a brief spell of time last year and it was good fun but never really grabbed me fully.
